Great job Lynne!!

[fitoverforty]

Thank you!!! It's been a long time and alot of change involved internally, changing mindset and just making better choices, daily.

Had a great 6 mile run yesterday. Ran the exact same route as last Sunday, and ran it 41 seconds per mile faster!

I've lost 2" in bust / 2.25" in waist / 3" in hips

Just gotta keep pushing, keep working hard, never lose sight of the goal.
12 more lbs. to original goal weight!!

I'm so excited to see some real movement on the scale and in the mirror too. Clothes are really fitting loose - had to wear a belt the other day!

100% pure awesomeness You have really found your niche with CrossFit and it is paying off

Busy week! Started a new position at job that keeps me on feet and moving all day instead of a desk job. Still adjusting to that been feeling really tired when I get home. No Crossfit this week but I have gotten up early and ran the last two days.

Now for the good news..... Weigh in: 156!!

[feelin-great]

Way to go, you sure are on a roll that's great about your new position keeping you on your feet - I wish I could do that!!

You are looking really fit and awesome Lynne. Truly mean that. great job!

[Boss Man]

I thought it said in your profile you were 51. Now I realise you are just a 42 year old who was teasing us

[feelin-great]

You're looking great Lynne!!!! I have noticed some signs about 1/2 mile from house that says CrossFit is coming soon. So I looked it up and it is waaayyyy out of budget right now, but maybe sometime down the road I could join!

Thanks Becky!!

Aw thanks Bossman - that made day!!

Thanks Joc! I still have a lot of work to do but happy I found Crossfit to add to running to help me finally make a breakthru.
Crossfit gym had different plans to choose from. I picked one that I got 12 sessions for $100. So I can spread those out over a couple of months - and Saturdays are a free class so it ended up being cheaper than gym membership.

Well that week really flew by fast
I had an off week as far as running and working out went. Haven't been feeling well - having some dizziness and feverish feelings (without a fever) feeling really tired at times. I have a doc appt next week, maybe can figure out what is going on. Had an ocular migraine this week too, with aura lights over vision and a bad headache following.
But I was feeling better yesterday - went to Crossfit. Had an awesome workout.
warmup run 400 meters / 10 chest to floor, raise hands, lift back up pushups / 15 squats / burpees
workout:
18 minute AMRAP of 5 full burpees w/jump clap / 10 Hand raise chest to floor pushups / 15 below parallel squats
In the middle of the AMRAP they would stop us and make us go run 200 meters, or do 20 situps,etc.
I still managed to do 7 full rounds.
Oh, and the last workout - after the AMRAP, was Jumping rope 400 times I was like "really?" but I managed to do it in 8 min. 45 sec.
This morning I went for a 4 mile run, saw a beautiful sunrise, enjoyed some cooler temps, 59 degrees. That practically a blizzard around these parts.
Had a young lady (mid 30's) at Crossfit come up to me and tell me that I was an inspiration to her. She said she watches me and says to herself "if I can just keep working hard, one day I'll be as good as Lynne". I was like WOW, talk about being humbled, that really touched me, and makes all of this, everything I do, every meal I eat, every workout I complete worth it, if it can motivate someone to keep striving to better themselves.

Rolemodels can be any age and to anyone of any age, they don't have to be a certain age range or be the same age range as others to be relevant to people of that age range.

[musculArgirl2]

Hope you are feeling better and yes you are definitely a role model Lynne. If i'm alive at age 50 which is in 12 years. i hope i'm like you too.

[Boss Man]

Why use the word if? Be more positive, you deserve to be .
